R For Robert Wellington Bomber

R for Robert ditched into Loch Ness when it experienced engine failure during the war.
It remained in the Loch until 1985.
Only two Wellington Bombers now survive, R For Robert at Brooklands and the other at RAF Hendon.

2000 Wellington bombers were built at Brooklands.

100.000 volunteer hours have been spent on the restoration of this bomber.
